~ Chapter Ten ~

"Le!"

Le was standing in the doorway, breathing heavily with blood all over her uniform.

"Well, if it isn't the little puppy dog," Kaname said, staring Le down. "How'd you manage to stay alive?"

"Cause you missed my heart you jerk!" She dug through her uniform pocket, pulled out a bloody silver knife, and threw it at the floor.

"W-What? What's going on Le?" I said, having absolutely no idea what was going on.

"This idiot tried to kill me!"

My eyes widened and I stared at Kaname. "I-Is that true?"

"Of course not Rae, you know I wouldn't do something like that."

"You liar! You tried to kill me so you could get to Rae! That's what you've been wanting all along! You thought I was getting in the way so you tried to get rid of me!"

Tears were filling my eyes now. "K-Kaname…"

"Don't listen to her Rae. She's trying to fill your head with nonsense. You know deep down that I wouldn't do that."

He bent down to kiss me but I turned my head away. "Don't touch me! You're a monster!"

He looked at me with sorrow filled eyes. "Rae…"

"No! Get off me! I never want to see you again! You tried to kill Le and turn me into one of you! I never should've trusted you!"

He sighed and slowly got off of me. "If that is what you want."

Le ran up to my side, grabbed me by the waist, and pulled me out of the room. As we made our way out of the Moon Dormitory yet again, Kaname watched as we left.

"Kaname-sempai, were you sure that was the right thing to do? You're just going to let them go? Just like that?" Aido said.

Kaname smiled and turned to face the blonde. "Don't worry Aido, she won't be able to escape next time."

Aido rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah but, she said she didn't want to see you again. So when will be the next time?"

Kaname's eyes turned dark. "When a very special day comes."

We had returned to our dorm, and my heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest. I didn't know what I was feeling right now. Angry, sad, scared, all these feelings were filling my body that I couldn't tell what I was feeling more.

Le had laid me on my bed and I couldn't move at all. So much had happened and none of it was good. All of it had been my fault. Because of me, Le got hurt, and I could've turned into a vampire and be with that jerk for eternity.

Hoping I was okay, Le got up from off her bed and crawled onto mine. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a soft hug.

"Hey, it'll be okay. You're not with him anymore. You're safe and sound in your dorm room with me."

"I-I know…" I sobbed. "But…but that's not it…"

"Then what is Rae?" She rubbed my back. "You can tell me."

I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears that I knew were going to come. "I…I'm still in love with Kaname!"

"…" Le looked down and sighed. "I know you are Rae, but you no longer are now, right?"

"N-No! Of course not!"

"Well, that's good."

I sniveled and looked up at her. "Y-You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be?"

"Well…because you kept telling me to stay away from him. And no matter how hard I tried to, he kept coming after me. Then, I don't know why but…I just kept having the same feelings for him over and over again! I got you into this mess because I wouldn't listen! And because of me, you got hurt!"

Le shook her head and held me tight. "It was an accident Rae. I was the one who was being too overprotective of you, and I should've let you have your space."

"But, if you let me have my space, I would've been turned into a vampire by now and you wouldn't have been able to save me."

"Not necessarily. Don't forget, I'm a chimera. I can sense when people are in danger. And you…I'll always know when you're in trouble."

Her face turned a slight shade of red and she looked down. I looked up at her. "Le? What's wrong?"

"I…I'll always know when you're in trouble because…"

I could tell she was getting uncomfortable because she kept getting jittery.

"Le? Are you okay? What's wro-"

Before I could even get my sentence out, Le pressed her lips against mine. My eyes widened in surprise and she pulled away quickly.

"I'm sorry Rae, but…I love you."

The room around me looked as if it was spinning. What the heck just happened?

"W-Wha…?"

"I know you may not have feelings for me but, I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I felt like, now would be a good time to tell you before something happened. I hope I didn't scare you."

"Oh…n-no…not at all. I'm just…taken by surprise is all…"

She smiled. "Well, that's good. I hope you'll consider my feelings and…let me be your girlfriend."

My face turned bright red. "G-Girlfriend?"

"Well, if I became your girlfriend, maybe…I'd be able to protect you more. I'd be by your side more often and be able to protect you from Kaname. I just don't want to see you get hurt anymore. When I saw him getting ready to bite you, I couldn't help but go into overprotective mode. You're the only person I care about, and I would die if something happened to you."

I stared at her for a long moment, trying to take in everything she was saying. Maybe she was right, if I became her girlfriend, I'd probably be more protected from Kaname than I was before.

Le noticed the look on my face and sighed. "I'm sorry. If you don't want to be my girlfriend, I understand. I just thought it'd help you feel more protect-"

I wrapped my arms around her neck and kissed her back. Her eyes widened for a moment, and then filled with tears of happiness.

I pulled my lips away from hers and sniveled. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend."

Le smiled and wrapped her arms around me in a tight embrace. "Thank you Rae. You have no idea how much this means to me."

"No problem Le," I said, hugging her back.

She sniveled and wiped away her tears. "I love you."

I smiled and gave her another kiss. "And I love you too."
